What is Şile bezi fabric?

Şile bezi is a traditional, lightweight cotton gauze from the Turkish coastal town of Şile. It has a natural crinkled texture and lets air through easily, so a blouse made from it stays comfortable on hot days. It needs little ironing, since the crinkle is part of its character.

How do you style a cotton gauze blouse?

A white or cream blouse looks fresh with a flowing maxi skirt or wide-leg trousers, finished with a light cotton hijab. For a matching outfit, pair it with thin cotton fabric pants in the same fabric.

How should you care for Şile bezi?

Wash in cold or lukewarm water. Avoid wringing hard; hang to dry. Follow the care label on the product page. If you prefer a longer piece that covers the hips, see our thin cotton fabric tunics.
